What we're looking for this month

Writers often ask us what we’re “looking for”. Excellent fiction, of course, but what does that mean? This page is designed to tell you. We’ll update it monthly, so visit again.

May/June 2008 - High Concept Literary Fiction

We don't get enough high concept literary fiction. With tongues only lightly in cheeks, we offer the following literary titles. We'd love to get the novels that go with them.

As usual, this is not all we're looking for. Our intention is not to suggest paint-by-numbers plotting or to limit authors' scope. We do hope to promote discussion of what would be fresh and exciting.
